If you use the pre-heater just before flying you will burn off any
condensation
that forms.

Moving from Texas to Virginia produced a new problem for me -
really cold weather.
I built a very effective preheater using a $25.00 ceramic heater
and a clothes dryer duct but when I mentioned that I was buying a
timer for it I was told that that will create water in the engine,
much like running the engine for a few minutes and stopping it
before it reached operating temperature.
They said leave the preheater running all the time.
I will appreciate your thoughts as several of you are familiar with
cold starts.
THANKS A LOT!
